STROBE-X High Energy Modular Array (HEMA)
Anthony L. Hutcheson, Marco Feroci, Andrea Argan +64
The High Energy Modular Array (HEMA) is one of three instruments that compose the STROBE-X mission concept. The HEMA is a large-area, high-throughput non-imaging pointed instrument…
Synchrotron polarization of a hybrid distribution of relativistic thermal and nonthermal electrons in GRB prompt emission
Kangfa Cheng, Jirong Mao, Xiaohong Zhao +4
Synchrotron polarization of relativistic nonthermal electrons in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been widely studied. However, recent numerical simulations of relativistic shocks and m…
Optimizing the light output of a plastic scintillator and SiPM based detector through optical characterization and simulation: A case study for POLAR-2
Nicolas De Angelis, Franck Cadoux, Coralie Husi +2
The combination of plastic scintillators with Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) is widely used for detecting radiation in high-energy astrophysics, particle physics, neutrino physi…
Response of the first POLAR-2 Prototype to Polarized Beams
Merlin Kole, Nicolas de Angelis, Ana Bacelj +15
POLAR-2 is a dedicated gamma-ray polarimeter currently foreseen to be launched towards the China Space Station around 2027. The design of the detector is based on the legacy of its…
Future Perspectives for Gamma-ray Burst Detection from Space
Enrico Bozzo, Lorenzo Amati, Wayne Baumgartner +35
Since their first discovery in the late 1960s, Gamma-ray bursts have attracted an exponentially growing interest from the international community due to their central role in the m…
